Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Sony F-V420 microphone is a perfect choice for vocalists with superior voice projection. The microphone comes with several features that make it a high-quality mic. The clear, natural sound reproduction comes from the Cannon connector, a high power Alnico magnet, OFC wire and a gold-plated UniMatch mini-plug. With the Alnico magnet, Sony has achieved a frequency response range of 80Hz to 13,000Hz; thus, the microphone is useful in both speech and vocal music recordings. Those working on stage with multiple microphones will appreciate the built-in on/off switch. The microphone is lightweight and compact, and with the long 9'8" cord the microphone has the ability to stray far away from the home component. To accommodate a wide range of component jacks, Sony has included a gold-plated UniMatch mini-plug with this microphone, allowing it to be used with all types of components. When searching for an affordable, comfortable and versatile microphone, the F-V420 should not be overlooked.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for instrumental recording., December 17, 2006

By	Matthew Gonzales (Oshkosh, WI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I play acoustic guitar, djembe, and viola, and this mic works wonderfully for all three. One thing to keep in mind- if using the mini plug to plug directly into a computer, make sure that your soundcard settings are NOT ajusted for an alternate microphone, but be sure to use the mic boost feature (if your soundcard supports it). Also, unless the mic will be less than 5 feet from the instrument, make sure you have a good hiss reduction filter with your recording software (but that's a given). Best results are to plug mic into a mixer, run mixer to a computer.
Overall, still my best mic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works fine, September 1, 2008

By	Your Number One Fan - See all my reviews

No complaints. This is my first experience buying recording equipment/microphones. I wanted an inexpensive microphone that works well and that is what I got. I use it mostly with the "Singing Coach" software in order to train my voice. I plan on using it for online karaoke as soon as I'm able to sing well enough to not embarrass myself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Microphone, July 16, 2008

By	H. John "lookin for a deal" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Boy I was real surprised how heavy and sturdy this mic was. My kids have been doing karaoke with it all day and the sound is great. No hissing and it actually cut out my dog barking. I'm happy with my purchase!
